Betsy shows us her ink sponging techniques on this week's MIM.
Loved her detailed and careful instruction.
I send a lot of Easter cards, maybe close to 30!
Love to do them for grandkids, and children of friends.
Betsy used a PTI stencil, which I completely forgot to order on release night,
so I used a Memory Box branch stencil, along with one I made from
a die cut of Easter Grass.
Betsy mostly covered her front with sponged ink first, I left the white as a bg,
and blended and ombred the inks for my leaves and branches.
Had fun ombre-ing the grass too!
Die cuts from Bunny Basket were Zing embossed,
the posies inked.
A peek on the inside with plenty of room to write.
Nancy this is so darn cute! What a perfect Easter card. Your grandkids will love it. I forgot to order PTI's stencils too. Will have to remember next month.
ReplyDeleteNancy, this is adorable! Embossing the die-cuts was a great idea, something I wouldn't think to do. It looks really nice.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cutie! Clever use of the new grass die! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a charming card! Love those adorable critters and that wonderful background!
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable Nancy! I forgot to add the stencils to my cart too. They're added to my ever growing wish list. Your Easter card is so springy and sweet! I love the tiny little chick on your sentiment banner. So cute!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW...I love how you ombre stamped those beautiful leaves and then added your touch of whimsy with the bunny, chick, and eggs towards the bottom...what a GREAT combination Nancy!! Totally LOVE this card!! :0)
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Nancy. The leaves are positively ethereal.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is darling! I love your take on the challenge, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteHow fun is your adorable Easter card?! I love the sweet scene you created on this one, Nancy! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, and more wow on the beautiful background you made! Such a darling card , Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI had to tell you I loved your comment on Jeanne’s 12 kit cards, that made me laugh, I can see you falling off your stool! If I was on a stool I would have fallen off too :)
Very pretty, I haven't even made a single Easter card yet.
ReplyDeleteSweet! I love your take on this challenge. all that white space and your spring time colors make the perfect combination for an Easter card!! Have fun creating them all!!

ReplyDeleteHi Nancy. Yeah, these stencils ... I have no idea if I ordered them or not, hahaha. Such a fun Easter card you created. I´m pretty sure I didn`t order that bunny and the eggs ... SIGH
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet Easter card, Nancy, with your embossed embellishments! Your white on Kraft bunny is adorable.
ReplyDeletebeautiful Nancy! I love how you stamped the BG. I didn't get the bunnies, but as always I see a card and think, I should have lol!!
